Island Cottage

Completed in 2004, the cottage is an elevated wood volume, cantilevered in part above a stone wall used for a kitchen, laundry and storage room.

The design resembles a lantern that glows at night and is protected by the strong day light. Vertical pivoting wood boards articulate the outer part of the volume, lending it a different appearance according to the time of the day, protecting the balcony area, a pleasant space situated between the skin of the building and the inner glass and colored wood volume that encloses the kitchen.
